Written and directed by Michael Petroni. Starring Adrien Brody, Jenni Baird and Sam Neill.
Plot: when psychologist Peter (Brody) begins seeing dead people, he returns to his home town to uncover a horrifying truth about his past
Peter is seeing ghosts. Not just any ghosts though – all these ghosts seem to have died in 1987. What’s the connection? Apparently Peter’s own past. And he thinks going home is the answer. So, home he goes and there he uncovers a truth so disturbing it rocks him to his very core.
Well, I had to coax my brother into watching this one. He doesn’t do Adrien Brody most of the time. Just something about him DJ hates. But he liked him in this. He even started to forget he didn’t like him and just enjoy the film. That’s how good it is. On top of that, the mood of the film suggests an ending you’re going to hate, but surprise! – not hateful.
The movie could have been scarier although one scene in particular is quite the jump-scare. Peter’s quite likable. A little depressed, but likable. Also, aside from the satisfying ending, the effects were good and the story was enjoyable.
All together, me and DJ both gave it the high score of 76/100. Watch it. It’s almost Halloween after all and good horror is hard to find.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
